Dog Bed

One of my many frustrations with dogs beds has been the lack of a washable cover—once a store-bought dog bed gets too dirty, you cannot just throw it in the wash. So this weekend I made a dog bed (used the stuffing from two old throw pillows), and made a washable cover from a table cloth I found on sale.

I didn’t want to use a zipper, so I created a pocket to slide the interior pillow into. Ahh… a clean dog bed (and cover).

Photos by Todd Selby.  I find his blog really interesting, as I love the idea of taking portraits of people in their homes/living spaces… I think it tells a lot about a person and for some reason I find real interiors fascinating and full of character.

Find the floor/ceiling of the house below really interesting.  Also by Todd Selby.

I also really like how his website is organized (by mood or genre).

Love these sofa portraits by photographer Colin Pantall:

Color

Since I decided I cannot have everything be white (er… two dogs, end (-ish) of rehab), I am trying to be inspired by color.  Like these two from Living Etc.:
